According to Variety, Lee reportedly impressed Disney execs with her pitch for the project, which follows a "strong female-driven narrative" and a unique approach to the story's science-fiction and world-building themes.

The A Wrinkle In Time film adaptation -- which was first announced in 2010 with then-screenwriter Jeff Stockwell -- has yet to find its director.
